On April 1, 1960 with their second baby on the way, Donald Teemsma Sr. and mother Barbara founded Ideal Plumbing and Heating. At the time they ran the company as a home-based business with only one ’53 Ford pick-up truck and the garage as the warehouse. In 1962, Ideal Plumbing and Heating outgrew their home when they opened their first storefront shop on Waring Road.
In 1994, Donald Sr. passed the torch to his son Donald Teemsma Jr., who spent his early years in the family hardware store, learning the ins and outs of all kinds of home repair needs. Over the years, Ideal's services have expanded to also specialize in air conditioning, electrical, plus kitchen and bath remodeling.
Ideal is more than just a company that installs and repairs your plumbing, heating, air, or electrical. We believe in service excellence, demonstrated in high moral standards and business ethics since the company’s inception.

I am beyond happy with Ideal Plumbing and their staff. I have been using ideal for 30 years and they continue to be the best at everything they do. Today I had a tankless hot water system installed and the techs Luciano and Pete worked tirelessly getting everything perfect. Tanner was first on the scene with incredible knowledge and answered all of my questions which boosted my confidence in making the decision to change to tankless. The install is a thing of beauty and the area was cleaner then they found it. I would give them 10 star if I could. An excellent team from start to finish.
I had a great experience using Ideal plumbing for a leak I was having in my laundry room. They were able to fit me in the next day and did a great job. David H completed my repairs and he was wonderful! I will definitely request him again in the future. Thank you ideal plumbing for great service from the initial phone call until the job was done!
Friendly and professional same day service! Thank you for helping with our flange repair and toilet installation. You came to the rescue just in time for the arrival of our out of state house guests. Job well done!
I have had only positive experiences using Ideal Plumbing, including the most recent occasion when our water filtration faucet needed replacing. Sounds like an easy task, but in actuality it was a bit challenging because the area under the kitchen sink was crowded with filtration “tubes” and large “drum”. Access was difficult. Fortunately, Ideal’s service technician, Joel, was creative and obviously knowledgeable. He found a way to get the job done efficiently. Additionally, he made sure to protect the sink area, leaving it cleaner than he found it and didn’t mind “ help” from our inquisitive cat. Joel, was professional yet friendly… just as all of the technicians from Ideal have been when visiting our home. I will not hesitate to call Ideal in the future.
Excellent service! Jonathan and Danny were very knowledgeable about what was happening with our heater. They were very thorough in the estimate and on time when they came to install the part. Not only cleaned up after themselves, but sent us pictures of the old and new parts so we could see how scary it was. I highly highly recommend these men and ideal plumbing!
